Christelle Berthon – Ladies can solo if they want
I guess I will be a little old fashion if I would say that soloing is preserved to man, but I think that I would be safe to say that it is more practiced by man. I guess that there is some element of it that appeals more to the gents. I guess in general there are more men playing instruments than women, so it might be that the previous is a direct result.
I have been following Christelle Berthon for a while, which I think can be entitled the first lady of the harmonica but I had not seen allot of competition on the title to be honest. In any case I wanted to link to a couple of her videos from my blog as she definitely is showing what the harmonica can do.
So here are a few of the videos I liked:
Adam Gussow
Carlos Del Junco
Howard Levy
Jasson Ricci
Oh come on -How about Annie Raines or the Waifs Vikki Simpson & I can think of more? Have to admit Christelle is hard to top but I think i like Annies style more.
Hi there,
Thank you for pointing me to Annie, I watched a few youtube videos and enjoyed…
By the way I was talking more about the attitude as I haven’t seen allot of women like Christell which also take an attitude of a soloist. Of course I am referring to my life experiences which I guess as in Annie’s case does not include 100% of whats out there…
so I was just expressing me view on how many actual soloist are there… and I still believe that there is some kind of manish thing in it… I guess it because I saw more men then women doing solos… that of course does not mean I think it should be like that…
